We have made the very difficult decision to temporarily close Escape Reality, in light of the situation with COVID-19.

We believe that this is the responsible thing to do, to protect our wonderful customers and talented team members.

This is an incredibly difficult time for everyone. Our thoughts and efforts must go towards supporting the many team members at Escape Reality, during what may be a prolonged period of closure.

We are committed to opening again, and honouring all our bookings when that day comes. To that effect, we ask that you consider simply rescheduling your existing bookings with us, instead of opting for a refund.

You do not have to do anything – all your existing bookings will automatically be placed on hold, and we will contact you again to make arrangements to reschedule when we reopen.

Our emails will continue to be manned during this period, so please feel free to contact us should you have any queries.

Finally, please stay safe and healthy, look after yourselves and your loved ones and thank you for supporting Escape Reality over the years. We can’t wait to see you again when this is all over.

From all of us at Escape Reality

Play the Best Escape Rooms in Manchester

If you’re looking for something different to do, then you should come and try our escape rooms in Manchester. Here at Escape Reality you will have 60 minutes to escape from a room of your choice, selected from our extensive array of different themed rooms. Teams of 2-6 players will be faced with mysterious and challenging puzzles. You must use your initiative and problem-solving skills to decipher visual puzzles, complete sequence challenges and discover missing elements along with many other strategies created to prevent you from escaping easily.

There’s something for everyone, whether you are part of a teambuilding day out with work, or tourists enjoying a few days away. For those of you who are visiting the City, then this is the perfect chance to see what a thrilling escape game has to offer. We are situated in an ideal location to satisfy any shopping needs, just opposite Manchester Arndale and the Corn Exchange. Our venue also has a bar, serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, meaning you won’t have to travel far if you’re on a hen or stag party looking for a drink.

No matter the size of your group, Escape Reality will be able to help and will always try and cater to any requirements you may have to make your event or celebration extra special. Every hour we can hold up to 36 people inside our breakout rooms in Manchester. For larger groups than this, players can relax in our social area whilst the first batch of teams complete their escape missions. Once they (hopefully!) escape, the other teams can swap over and see if they can beat the escape times of the previous groups. There’s nothing like a little bit of healthy competition.

Escape Reality is a great example of an unusual form of entertainment, perfect for those looking for something different from the usual activities such as going to the cinema or bowling. Prices range from £16 – £22 per person and the more players that come along, the cheaper it is.

So, whether you are a horror, thriller or adventure seeker, Escape Reality has at least one room that will be right up your street. If you are looking for unique and quirky things to do in Manchester City Centre, then why not try something out of the ordinary. You have one hour to escape the room. Will you succeed?

Escape Reality is a mind stimulating game in real life played in our uber-real and intense escape rooms. You and your team have just 60 minutes to finish the escape game.

To complete the adventure, immerse yourself in the game of wits and look out for hidden clues. As you battle against time to solve puzzles, overcome challenges and defeat your doubts, you then become the heroes of your own story.

It is 2035 and you are taking part in a space mission exploring Mars. An unexpected dust storm threatens the whole expedition. During the evacuation from the planet, you and some of your crew got lost and the mission commander believes you’re dead, so has made the hard decision to leave the planet without you…

This room can be played in parallel with an identical one, so two teams can compete against each other. For this reason, every time players solve a puzzle and open a box, a light in the other room turns on. This gives feedback to each team of the level their competitors have reached in the puzzle solving process. The missions can all be solved at the same time.

Challenge your friends and race against time to see who escapes first in this unique “Challenge Escape Room”, by booking both Auron (Portal 1) and Auron (Portal 2) at the same time. Or book one room, for a chance to challenge strangers!

Please note that Auron (Portal 1) and Auron (Portal 2) have a minimum of 2 and and a maximum of 3 players per room. Auron rooms can also be played independently sans challenge, if the other room hasn’t been booked during the same time slot.

“The room was fantastically decorated and engaging. The staff were really helpful and encouraging”

PIP AND THE CITY

“One of the best room escapes I have played, both for aesthetics and the challenge.”

LEWIS, TRIP ADVISOR

“Overall great experience. Has to be said that from being to each escape room around Cardiff I believe the Escape Reality franchise have nailed it. Without giving too much away each individual game has great puzzles and many rooms all equipped with that mysterious kind of feel.”

Another great experience!

Escape Reality is hands down my favourite escape game company in Manchester! The iPad hint system works perfectly and keeps the immersion which me and my friends loved! The bar is also cool, means you can chill afterwards and talk about the game. Our host was so friendly and gave us an informative brief before we started. Can’t wait to go back and try more games!

Great stuff!!

Been here twice now and been great both times. We did tortuga pirates on our first visit and then bank job and escaped both times!! The rooms are excellent and well thought out and themed. They give you iPads so you can get clues when you think you need them. I have tried many different companies and these are best escape rooms I’ve tried!!
